What is 8.75% of 2000?

We need to find 8.75% of 2000.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 8.75% means 8.75 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

8.75 ÷ 100 = 0.0875

This means 8.75% = 0.0875

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.0875 × 2000 = 175

So 8.75% of 2000 = 175

You can also think of it as a fraction:

8.75% of 2000 = (8.75/100) × 2000

= (8.75 × 2000) / 100

= 17500 / 100

= 175
